3-way-match set up, no GR/IR account

Dear all,
Currently 3-way-match is not enable in my company and we have no GR/IR account. If we think about enabling it in the future how is its set up:
1) Can the 3-way-match be enabled just for certain vendors, or material groups? or when it's enabled it's valid for all MM invoices?
2) In case 3-way-match is enable but when Accounting receives the invoice there is no match, it is possible to save the item as "complete" until GR is entered? (Backgroup: we have an approval workflow and the item must be first completed in order to start with the workflow, item is posted after approval)
3) I really dont know how 3-way-match works as I never had the chance to see it in the system, but I have heard that items in which 3-way-match is not possible go to a queue. How does this queue work?
Sorry for the basic questions. If anybody needs more information in order to answer me, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance.

The standard invoice block is determined based on the repsecive tolerance key for block or we have to set manually in the payment tab (header).
if required You can set the manual payment block on the vendor master records and this will cause all invoices to be blocked for payment.
Request you to go thru below SAP help for better understanding:
===============================================================================
Payment Block Key
Use
     Specifies why a document is blocked for payment.
     The following payment blocks exist:
     o   Manual payment block
         If you manually select a payment block from the list field to block
         an invoice for payment, the payment block field in the header of the
         invoice document is marked with the appropriate indicator.
     o   Blocked due to differences
         If invoices are to be blocked automatically due to differences in
         the invoice items, the system enters the payment block R in the
         vendor line of the Accounting document. The field in the header of
         the invoice document remains empty.
     o   Random payment block
Invoices that do not show any other blocking reason, can be blocked
in accordance with the random principle. In Customizing for the
Logistics invoice verification, you can set the probability for the
block. The indicator for the logistical payment block is entered in
the header of the invoice document.
Dependencies
    If you have set a manual payment block, and an invoice is blocked
    automatically due to differences in the invoice items, the system enters
    the manual payment block in the vendor line of the Accounting document.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So, we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

I cant find a way to set up my old itunes account in a new computer... I dont find my music

I download Itunes in my new computer and i dont see how i can get my account set up to access my music

It you go to the iTunes Store, and on the right side select "Purhcased", you can re-download any songs, TV shows, etc. that you previously purchased on that account.
Any music that you got off of CD's or elsewhere, you simply need the CD or whatever you got it off of.

Mobile Me was my default email account, so if I did any emailing like trying to send a photo directly from iphoto it would send from the mobile me address. Is there a way to set a different default email account now that mobile me is gone?

We used Mobile Me for our default email. So if you answered an ad from a site or tried to send a photo directly from iphoto, it would use the mobile me account. Now that its gone, can I set a different address as my default?

WEll, MobileMe has been moved & still works in iCloud.
Did you setrup an iCloud account?
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

Setting up a Comcast email account on the iPad

What is the best way to set up a comcast email account on the iPad?
Do I only have the option to use 'Other' or can I set up using MS Exchange?

Thanks. I had to try and set up for another user. I would never even consider using comcast. So outdated it's almost a joke. I find it easier to only use my iCloud email on any of my devices. I just have any other email accounts forwarded to my me.com address and just reply from there. And if you use Gmail it doesn't play nice with Mac Mail.

Setting up a Network User Account

Is there a way to set up a Network User Account so I can access this from any Mac That I am using? I have three Mac's but I want only 1 Account for all of them. I have a networked Drive that I want to put my User Account onto so I can access this one and set all of my Mac's to automatically choose this account.

You would need OS X Server for that.

Cannot change to 2 way matching after change Master Item setting

Thank you in advance for your help. I need to change the match method for an item to 2 way matching. I go to Master Item->Purchasing, in invoice matching section I set both Receipt Required and Inspection Required to NO. When I do Auto Create, the order is still set as 3 way setting.
I thought the setting on item level will override other level setting so I assume the purchase order should automatically go to 2 way. But why it is not? Is there other settings I need to check? Or is there something in the requisition need to change?
Thanks. -Bill

Quantity variance in Invoice Vs. Three way match in PO

Hi Experts,
I am not able to find any differrence between quantity variance Vs. Three way match in PO.
For example in our purchase orders for all the items we are having Two way match (PO-Inv, GR-Bsd Inv is not checked) but we have defined quantity varaince in Invoice. So when we are trying to post invoice for purchase order item for which goods reciept is not performed, system is blocking the invoice due to quantity variance.
So i think if you have quantity variance at invoice level then system is going to check whether goods reciept is perfromed or not regardless of Two way or three way match.
Please advise if my understanding above is correct.
My second question is as we can define two way/three way match at various level (Supplier, Inforecord etc.). Is there anyway that i can define that quantity variance in Invoice should be for certain material groups only.
Please advise.
Regards,
Kamal

hi,
when you set the qty variance, and try to post the invoice just after the PO, the system will show a message at IR ie. " Quantity delivered is Zero"...
this message is warning message...
The system will block the invoice item when the doc is posted, depending on how the tolerance key DW is set(Qty variance to Gr qty = zero)...
Hope it helps..
Regards

Three way matches

I need to check configuration setting to check if three way matches have been activated for
1) Vendor Order, Good Receipt and Payment to Vendor
2) Customer Order, Customer Invoice and Customer Payment
How do I do check this, what is the path.

Hi
For vendors check ME23n---Display PO
MIGO-- Goods receipt
MIRO--Invoice reciept

Need SQL query for PO that do NOT have 3-way match.

The question is -- have any PO"s been generated with other then 3-way match selected - which means they overrode the set-ups in purchasing , to see if there are an PO that do NOT have 3-way match.
Thanks
Mohan.

1)Generally when ever we will do Supplier setup we will select in the Receiving tab Match approval level we will select either 3-way ,2-way,4-way or we will keep that as blank.
for that we do not have any direct column in the back end ,so we will use the following conditions.
'2WAY' inspection_required_flag = 'N'
receipt_required_flag = 'N'
'3WAY' inspection_required_flag = 'N'
receipt_required_flag = 'Y'
'4WAY' inspection_required_flag = 'Y'
receipt_required_flag = 'Y'
2)When ever we will create a PO in the shipments level what ever the Match approval level,
we defined in the supplier will automatically reflects in the shipments-More tab.
3)Here i wants to know all the PO's whihc are having Match approval level differences between supplier definiton and PO's match approval level.
(i.e If i will select a supplier for a PO , automatically we will get one Match approvallevel from supplier setup .if i will change that match approval level manually in the PO shipments -More tab i wants to know all that PO by using a SQL query.
4)But for some PO's i am getting receipt_required_flag and inspection_required_flag as null.But in the Supplier setup it may be one of the Matching approval.
Thanks

Best way to set up homesharing via airport express and NAS

Hi,
I've just bought an Airport express and was wondering what the best way to set it up would be so that I can play music stored on my NAS, controlled by my iphone / ipad. I have itunes match as well, and don't want my phone to be streaming the music from wherever. The airport express will be wired via ethernet to the same router as the NAS on which everything is stored. I don't want the problem with network dropouts and hammering the bandwidth and battery on my iphone to deal with.
How can I set it up to be taking the music straight from the NAS rather than streaming it. I'd also rather not have to turn off itunes match everytime, because it takes an age to repopulate the library when I turn it back on.
Thanks,
Dom

You cannot use homesharing to play content from anywhere but iTunes on a computer. The content doesn't have to be on that computer but it has to be part of the iTunes library on your computer. In addition the computer has to be on with iTunes running.
It doesn't matter what sonos can do, sonos is a lame duck in comparison to iTunes because iTunes gives you many features sonos can't, all because it doesn't use iTunes and homesharing.

3-Way Match with Multiple Invoices

This may be a basic Oracle iProcurement functionality question, but i have been unable to get a good answer. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
I am currently using Oracle 11i iProcurement.
The problem I am having is I am unable to perform a 3-way Match in the system on purchase orders that will use multiple invoices. Our vendors require a tiered payment structure (i.e. 50% due up front before shipment, 30% due when item has reached shipment destination, and 10% due after our engineers have inspected the shipment).
We have been currently using a 2-way match for all of our purchase orders because when we apply the first invoice against the PO (50%), the PO will automatically close before we can receipt the goods against the purchase order.
Our Invoice Receipt Close % Tolerance and Invoice Close % Tolerance are set at 0%.
Our goal is to receipt the first 50% against the purchase order, have the PO remain open, and receipt the goods in Oracle after the 2nd or 3rd invoice application against the PO.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm, an interesting situation. What are the quantities on your purchase orders? Are they almost always a quantity of 1? Payables should only close a purchase order when quantity billed and quantity received is GT or equal to the quantity ordered. So if you order a quantity of 10, you could match for quantity 5 on the first invoice, quantity 3 for the second invoice, and quantity 2 for the final invoice. But since you don't receive the quantity until the 3rd invoice, you cannot match on receipts, so that would be a problem.
Maybe you need to approach this from a different angle? Maybe you should look at the prepayments ability in Payables. Typically Prepayments will be charged to a Prepayment Account (asset). Say you have a purchase order for $10,000. You prepay $5,000 up front, so basically Debit Prepayment 5,000 and Credit Cash 5,000. Same for the next prepayment level - $3,000. Then you get the ordered material received. So you want to do an invoice for $10,000. Match the invoice to the purchase order. Apply the prepayments to the purchase order. Thus you get an entry something like Debit Inventory $10,000, Credit Prepayments $8,000, and Credit Cash $2,000.
From an accounting perspecitive, you don't show the prepayments in inventory until received, but do show a prepayment asset. Which is reflecting what you really are doing I think.
I have never worked for anyone who has had to do prepayments, but this is an area that you may wish to investigate as a possible solution for your situation. Good luck.

Three way matching: the ultimate solution

All,
I've been looking for the ultimate solution and answer with regard to three way matching and how to make sure that it is always in place.
Up to now I used to rely on the GR based IV flag in the PO in combination with tolerance limits and MRBR for MIRO.
Lately the option if the GR and the IR indicator in the PO popped up but this leaves me with a couple of questions:
How do we know for sure that the goods receipt are always linked to the PO? (otherwise this will leave me a bunch of invoices I won't be paying)
How do we know for sure that all the invoices are linked to the PO? (Since MIRO provides me other options as well)
How do I know for sure that the invoice are blocked based on the right propositions? (I guess the tolerance limits but I really want to be sure this time)
How do I know for sure that the unblocking is done timely and is valid?
What's the impact of the document types in this story and how can I manage these best?
What it basically comes down to is that I'm more than happy to believe that setting the GR and the IR indicator in the PO is sufficient in combination with tolerance limits but I would appreciate it when somebody is able to talk me through the three way matching logic in SAP and the configuration impact.
Hopefully somebody can help me out.
Regs,
Paul

With regards to GR, if you are doing a 101 movement type Goods Receipt, it requires either a PO or a Production order to receive against. Receipts without a PO, 501's, 561's,etc should be restricted in the system. In most SAP implementations, the receiving department can usually just use the 101 (receipt against a PO) or a 102 (reversal) and 122 (return to vendor). So you should be pretty secure the receipts (if being done) are done against a PO.
I do not remember the table, but there was a table (at least in 4.7) that restricted the ability to do 2-way match (not allowed). You can also set the fields on the PO as required "GR-based IV"(WEBRE) and "IR Required" (REPOS field) to make sure it is required to have an IR and GR-based IV. GR Required indicator (WEBRE) should also be required if 3-way is ALWAYS happening.
I hope this helps?

Question for GR IR functionality - audit requirement (three-way) match

Hello,
I have a question in regards to three way match functionality in SAP (matching of PO, GR and IR). Auditors asked us if GR-IV indicator is checked for every PO, and for our company this indicator cannot be checked for every PO due to drop shipments, LC terms, etc. However, AP is ensuring that GR document is posted prior to posting IR for all POs. In this case, even though GR-IV indicator is not checked at PO item level, does SAP enforce automatic three way matching based on the tolerance key set (DQ and PP), or does SAP not perform three way match since the GR-IV indicator was not set in the first place?
Please share some insight. Thank you.

Hi,
As you know three ways match related to PO-GR-IV but in your case you want pay drop shipments and LC terms to vendor where you need two way match which is with PO-IV. The disadvantage in two way match, you never know whether the whole PO amount is delivered or not in your system (in real scenario). For two way match, select those vendors in t.code:XK02 and do not select check box of “GR-Based Inv. Verif.” in Control data segment in Purchasing data view & then save.
Now create a new PO and go for directly invoice verification WRT new PO.

How to enforce a three way match

Hi,
We are using SRM 5.0, ECC 6.0, ECS, Invocing in SRM. We are trying to enforce the three way match in SRM, so that the users should be able to enter the invoice but it should not be posted in to ECC until the Confirmation/GR is posted against that PO.
We tried setting the GR-based-IV flag on the vendor master, but this is not letting the user submit the invoice against the unconfirmed PO. Please share any ideas to achieving this.
Thanks in Advance,
Sree

Do you use Invoice Management System? Found some useful information in this link.
http://www.ies.state.pa.us/srm/lib/srm/2006_05_26_srm_007.pdf
We post invoices directly in R/3. The invoice goes into blocked status till the confirmation is received for the PO. When the confirmation is received, the 3-way match is complete and invoice gets posted.

Suren
